After freeing Jaime Lannister, Catelyn is confined to Hoster's chambers.{{ref|ASOS|2}} During his last weeks, Hoster is only able to mutter a few feverish words and no longer recognizes his children. His son Edmure has assumed control of Riverrun in his stead. Hoster often speaks in his delirium of Lysa and her aborted pregnancy, initially bewildering Catelyn with his references to "[[Tansy (plant)|Tansy]]" and "the blood". Though Catelyn and Edmure write to Lysa asking her to visit her father before his death, she never responds to the ravens.{{ref|ASOS|14}} Hoster dies in {{Date|299}} and is succeeded by Edmure.{{ref|ASOS|35}}

Hoster's armor, shield, hunting horn, and a wooden sword are added to the boat. As part of the funeral custom a flaming arrow is fired to light the sails as the boat travels downriver. Edmure fires the arrows, but misses three times in his grief. Brynden, seeing this, takes the bow from his nephew's hands and succeeds in lighting the sail before the boat disappears downriver.{{ref|ASOS|35}}
